Lots of morning light, spectacular sunrises, as the cabin faces east (Sorry, no sunset view).

Relax in the log rocking chairs or curl up in the day bed by the real wood-fired stove in the living room, which heats the whole house. Enjoy the real outside fireplace on those cool nights in autumn.

This unique all-cedar craftsman home truly shows character.

Located on a hillside top of Lummi Island in a private location (not on waterfront).
With towering trees and a view facing east across the water towards Mt. Baker.
Great sunrise view through the large dormer bedroom windows.

ADULT GETAWAY: Very private location backs up to woods, no neighbors.
No neighbors, privacy fenced patio & hot tub. Makes a totally awesome couples' getaway. There have been many honeymooners and anniversary guests. No shared areas; you have the whole house, deck, patio, and an authentic Japanese WOOD HEATED HOT TUB. Soak in the hot water while the fire crackles under the night star-filled sky without city light pollution.

Due to safety concerns with the multi-story balcony and wood stoves,
NOT SUITABLE FOR SMALL CHILDREN.

Since you are on an island in the woods, the only noises at night are the hoot of an owl or the wind in the trees.
During the day, you can hear the flapping of the eagles' wings as they soar overhead.

All knotty pine interior, the cottage is nestled in the woods on a hillside in quiet setting.
Hike the woods on a nearby trail close by to the top of the island mountain at 1,200 ft, with incredible views of all the islands, then soak in the private hot tub, with no noisy pumps just, the sound of the fire. Bath robes furnished. Natural flannel sheets and organic cleaning supplies used.

Fully furnished kitchen, with dishes, utensils, pots & pans, coffee, and tea.
Enjoying the view of the water and mountains from a built-in seating area.

Eat on the picnic table on the very large deck.

WIFI PROVIDED, be on line and cozy by the crackling fire. FIREWOOD PROVIDED.
Long burning compressed logs for all night fire.

There are LOTS OF STEPS, which some might find it a challenge, and a steep driveway.

PET FRIENDLY: Fenced yard books up to the woods, so your dog can run free.

CHECK THE CALENDAR FOR OPEN DATES BEFORE WRITING, PLEASE!

Wonderful Getaway

April 15, 2016

The owner allowed us to check in a few hours earlier, the rental is rather rustic but nice and the hot tub was amazing. My fiancé was the one who set it up and he did say it took him a while to really get it going (so that the water was hot enough for it to be therapeutic), but was able to bring my dog. I let him off leash and we enjoyed the two nights thoroughly. They have pots, pans, knives, dishes, blankets and a nice indoor fire as well. So leave your cookware at home! There's two great places to grab food from (and then a small grocery store) so you can enjoy the atmosphere more. There's a few public beaches, but seriously enjoyed the mountain view from the kitchen, playing games and just enjoying the alone time and the cabin. Would go again to Lummi Island for sure! AND, now we know where we want to stay EVERYTIME.

this cabin provided a perfect space for all of the things we came on vacation to do. neither of us, nor our dogs, are accustomed to so much space and comfort! the hot tub was even better than I had hoped for, the kitchen was outfitted to allow for almost non-stop baking and cooking to indulge in. wood stove kept the whole house warm. felt fairly quiet there, and the owner gave us good suggestions for places to go and walk with our dogs in between the almost incessant rain. very grateful that the owner worked with some of our special needs... very personable. thanks so much for sharing this special get-away with us.

An adventure getting there and an adventure being there. Wood burning heater, totally cool wood-burning hot tub (!) idyllic setting with quality decor and craftsmanship. Had a great time enjoying the fire, drinking coffee and enjoying an evening glass of wine. Read a great book and simply had fun being together. It was also fun meeting Grant! May not be for everyone but if you are looking for a cabin-in-the-woods back-to-basics down time, with an elegant twist, this is your place!

Our 2nd stay was just as great as our first :)

Our 2nd stay was just as great as our first :)

January 9, 2015

For 5 days around New Years my partner and I stayed at Grant's lovely cabin. It was our second visit (our first being on the labour day weekend) and the second visit was just as great as the first. We arrived to the wood fired hot tub being warmed, the inside wood stove all crackling and bright and the lights on to welcome us (as we arrived just at it was getting dark).
The kitchen is stocked with all the pots, pans, cutlery, and dishes you would need to make meals. There are more than enough bedding, pillows and towels. All you need to bring are your clothes, food and anything you may want to drink :)
Even though the master bedroom has a great comfy bed with a beautiful wood beamed ceiling to look up at, my partner and I spent lots of lazy afternoons cuddling and napping in the great daybed (which is on the main floor) because it is set up right next to the cozy wood stove.
The yard is so lovely and it's ultra private so you can spend time in the wood fire hot tub wearing nothing but your birthday suit ;)
I recommend this getaway house for adults who are looking for a relaxing, restorative vacation. We are a couple but as the house would comfortably house and sleep 5 I would recommend it for a group of friends or family members as well.
My partner and I will definitely be back!

We stayed at Grant's cabin before Christmas, as temperatures were falling off. He had it warm for us when we arrived and showed us around, providing instruction on the wood stove and hot tub, among other things. Everything was in order and we were able to keep the place warm enough with the wood stove. It took a little effort, but was fun and uncomplicated.
Grant also did a great job of keeping in touch and making himself available if had any questions or issues. Much appreciated!

We enjoyed stoking the pot belly wood stove and the complete privacy when we stayed in this Lummi Island cabin. Be prepared to dress warm on the frosty mornings while the cabin heats. Turn on the electric kitchen stove and bake up some biscuits while sipping coffee in the breakfast nook. The wood heated hot tub is as innovative as it gets!

Firstly, the place was great- very nice hot tube, outdoor fire pit with a beautiful view, and very quiet and secluded. This was our first experience with Lummi Island. The island has some nice little beaches and the hike up to Baker Preserve is highly recommended. We came for a few days of quiet relaxation and left satisfied!

fall family getaway

November 1, 2014

We booked in Oct. when we were free and could meet up with family. The island was peaceful and charming, the property was also charming. The views from the cabin were spectacular. Everything we needed was there. We hiked to the highest point on Lummi, enjoyed the beach, saw Eagles & seals, and did some off-island travelling as well, but always a joy to come home to the cabin. We thoroughly enjoyed our getaway!!

Lovely getaway

October 3, 2014

My husband and I enjoy taking a short getaway in early fall, someplace close but new to us. We love the San Juan Islands, and had never been to Lummi, so we did a search and booked this rental. It was lovely! Grant has put a lot of time and effort into restoring the house, which has a lot of character and lovely unique touches throughout. It was quiet, peaceful and private, with a lovely view from both floors across the water to the mountains.
Grant was there to meet us, show us around and answer any questions we had. He had the fire going in the house as well as the wood-heated hot tub, and had recommendations for a hike and a beach visit if we were interested.
The only reason I'm giving 4 instead of 5 stars is that I personally didn't like the water! I would bring a filter pitcher to improve the taste.

Owner's reply:

Glad you had an enjoyable anniversary get away .The cabin is not well water ,the source is a community water association,
The water reservoir is filed with clean water run off from
The old growth Forrest 'making it pure . Its still treated like all water systems do
I will take your suggestion and have a filter pitcher available for guest use

Hi there, I am writing my review about renting the Eagles nest on Lummi Island. I did not rent it for myself but rather for my daughter and her new husband to enjoy.
They came back full of good things to say about their visit and particularly enjoyed the abundance of wildlife and natural flora. They would like to return again next year and do more hiking about the island.
Thank you for making the whole experience easy for me. Even to the phone calls with specific, time saving directions to the Island. I am confident I can call you again and arrange more getaways... Mary-Jo Redlin

My husband and I both agree this is the best choice we have ever made for a mini vacation! And it was only a little over 35 miles from home! The view was so spectacular, the sounds of the birds was so relaxing! And the hot tub was very romantic! We were so thankful to find a place we were able to take our kids with us. Our kids are one nine year old rat terrier and a one year old Great Dane / German Shepard mix. They truly enjoyed it to! Thank you so much, Grant for sharing this place with us! We will definitely be seeing you again!

My wife and I had been searching for a local retreat to take one of our last vacations of the summer before our first kiddo arrives in September. Despite our unusual booking (Saturday - Tuesday), Grant was really accommodating with our schedule. He also was there to greet us, give us a tour and let us know of some great hikes, local beaches, and cool spots around the island. We loved the house (awesome workmanship!), the unique hot tub and the beautiful views from the spacious deck. Our Dogue de Bordeaux was also very happy, exploring the dog friendly and beautifully landscaped fully-fenced yard. Thank you Grant for allowing us to stay and relax this past weekend - we would highly recommend your beautiful property to anyone looking for an island getaway!

My girlfriend and I were looking for a quiet weekend with our dogs when we came across Grants cabin on the internet. He was offering a pretty good deal so we decided to try it out. I'm sure glad we did, first and foremost our host was great!! He had both the fire pit and the tub going when we arrived and was gracious enough to walk us and our beagles around the property and through the woods....the area is beautiful an quiet with lots of birds and other wildlife. After walking us around the woods he showed us the cabin. Being a handyman, I admire all the work that has been put into this place... The cabin was clean and inviting, and offer some awesome views of the water. We especially liked the stainless steel countertops....being self proclaimed "foodies" my girlfriend and her sister whipped up some of the most amazing kalbi chicken, and we were even able to grill some rabbit on the deck.....the island itself is nice and quiet, and its people were all so nice..the beach near the church is an awesome area for beachcombing...and there really isn't anything better than stargazing from the fire pit, or the hot tub.. all in all we had a great time and will most likely be back...

It is a great family place with so many options: coffee on the deck at sunrise, tromping on the shore, hiking (just minutes away), a fire in the evening, games inside for rainy days, curling up with a book! Thank you so much for sharing. This is a magical island.

Incredible Lummi Island Getaway

March 22, 2014

We stayed at Grant's cabin for three nights and it was an absolute pleasure. Grant was there to meet us the first day of our stay. He had the cabin and hot tub heated up upon our arrival. We enjoyed hearing all about the how Grant found the cabin and all the work he did on it. He also gave us some great suggestions on things to do on the island.
The property has an incredible view of the water and Mt. Baker in the distance. We were content to spend most of our time in the cabin cooking (the kitchen had pretty much everything we needed), hanging out by the fire, watching movies and soaking in the hot tub. The cabin is truly a unique and wonderful place.
We had a great time. Hopefully we'll back again someday.

We and our dogs had an excellent adventure during our 2 day/nite stay. We explored the Island top to bottom and the dogs sniffed every crevice. We plunged our tired bodies into the hot tub in the evening while the dogs snoozed by the fire. We slept like the dead in the comfy beds.We were completely de-stressed by departure time.

We really enjoyed our stay at Grant's. It's a very rustic, cozy cabin we will be going back for sure. Our dog enjoyed having the run of the forest too.The island is very quiet with beautiful beaches. If you're a rock hound you will love spending time combing the shores. You can actually hear the wings of the eagles soaring by while enjoying the silent wood burning tub. This is a perfect home away from home.

We had a wonderful peaceful time at Grants cabin. The house was warm and the hot tub was ready for our use. Grant goes the extra mile to have things warmed up and ready for you when you arrive. We live in a small town with little traffic compared to the Seattle area. Lummi Island was so quiet it made our small town seem busy. If you are looking for a place to relax, read and rest then this is the place. As someone else said this isn't a 5 star hotel it's a rustic cabin in the woods with a view of the Puget Sound and on good days a wonderful view of Mt Baker and the snow covered mountains.

January 9, 2014

We stayed 3 nights at this wonderful getaway. It was a perfect respite from busy city life. The island itself is quiet and quaint. Perhaps now my favorite of the San Juan's. The chalet is nestled on the top of a hill with a stunning view of the water and mountains. The cabin itself is rustic and cozy and the perfect place to let yourself unwind! Most of our time was spent in front of the fire, in the soaking tub or cooking in the kitchen. Everything was as promised and easy to find.
**The Bakers Preserve Trail is a good hike with a view of the islands and there's plenty of beaches to walk along and explore. We didn't get a chance to eat at the Willows Inn, but the reviews are reason enough for us to want to visit Lummi again.

This is a rustic and well appointed cabin in the hills of Lummi Island, both as charming as can be. The host had the wood fires burning: 1 in the cabin and the 2nd in the outdoor hot tub that was hot upon arrival so it couldn't have been warmer or more welcoming. He loves dogs and enjoys having a place for other dog lovers to come. I visited when the car ferry was not running so he picked me up and drove me to and from the ferry landing (the cabin is a few miles away) including a second trip to get off Island as the ferry was delayed for a storm. That just made the experience all the more adventurous and fun. He even made me breakfast Sunday a.m.! It was a very special time and I can't wait to go back! It is perfect for a retreat which I did or a romantic getaway.

We loved our two days at Lummi Island, we stayed at the cabin almost the entire time, reading enjoying the real wood fire sitting in the big rockers or listening to the birds outside in the tall evergreen trees on the large sweet patio. My hubby went in the unique hot tub, he loved it. We messed up and left all our clothes at home, but no worries, did not seem to miss them much, it was a wonderful two days. The bed upstairs was so comfy, we slept like rocks. We rented electric bikes at the Willows Inn and got a little exercise, that was fun. You need to bring your food along and cook it yourself, which is real easy in the wonderful kitchen with the big picture window looking out at the water and trees.
Grant was also sweet and kind and very thoughtful.
We will be back to enjoy another getaway again one day.

My husband 66 & I 57 found such enjoyment here doing absolutely nothing......simply watching the sky for eagles.... the water for boat crossings.....the landscape for deer......stoking the pit fire & soaking tub......cooking lovely meals with an inspirational view that made being stuck in the kitchen a delight ......eating, drinking & breathing in the ocean air.....
Just about everything you could need is provided, kitchen lacked a few incidentals (storage wrap, foil, roasting pan, not much else) there was even a well seasoned cast iron skillet, my favorite......
Our great dane Rommel could walk about off leash; yet slept through the deer visiting.....
We watched the Rhododendrons bloom out in our 7 day stretch of beautiful unseasonably warm weather.....Gorgeous pink at the pit fire & romantic red from the master deck.....
We WILL return!....
A note to help others: the stairs to the upper 2 bedrooms could pose a problem for elders, narrow, shallow stairs...... the steep terrain of the property is nicely terraced & eases you into more exercise than the Stairmaster, so allowing you to continue to eat all the proper vacation food......
laundry facilities are working & adequate but needed the wood stove to dry things thoroughly in less than 2 hrs.....
if you're fussy about soaps of any kind; bring your own......
the deck is large & inviting but needed (my opinion) a comfy luxurious place to land & perhaps nap......next visit we will bring a hammock....The bed was all cotton sheets, a real plus for me with skin issues........THANK-YOU GRANT

-Quiet hillside property
-Nice fenced area for our 75lb dog to explore
-Cozy den
-Very comfortable bed
-Wood fireplace and hot-tub made for a lot of fire-stoking! I smelled like smoke at the end of the weekend. Plenty of wood ready, though!
-Kitchen appliances aren't the latest and greatest, but that's not what we were there for - they worked fine for us!
-Responsive and friendly owner
-Nice 8-mile biking loop on island's North side

Owner's reply:

Glad you enjoyed times by the real wood fires
Its a lot of work for us to get , split and stack all the firewood
We have an older gas stove with old fashioned pilot light so guests can cook if the
power goes out , which does happen here in the forrest on an island
Did you know that you cannot bake in the newer gas oven if the power is out ?
Its always nice to bake a pie , cookies and warm up the kitchen if snowed in and power is out

This was our second visit, and we had a lovey 4 nights on Lummi Island at this great place. It was great to relax in the hot tub, and later sit in the rocking chairs and be cozy by the wood stove. The place is great! Our dog enjoyed the fenced yard and the view from the deck - especially when the deer were walking up the road. The views of Mt Baker were glorious. The island has lovely hiking trails through the forest, and the beach by the church is public and easily accessed.
The place is well set up. The kitchen is spacious and the bbq is nice.
Grant is so welcoming and helpful. We want to make it an annual event.

A nice, quiet location on quaint Lummi Island with a generous amount of space. A short drive from Downtown Vancouver Canada, door-to-door in 3 hours. The owner was by a few times as he was doing some work on the place but he wasn't too intrusive. The wood-fired hot tub was a bit tricky to light but worked as advertised. November was a very cold time to go as you do not get afternoon sun, but the wood-burning fireplace heated things up nicely, as did the hot tub. Would go again during warmer time of the year.

We came up from Portland and stayed for two days with our golden retriever. This is a lovely two-story nicely finished log cabin with a homey feel but modern conveniences including wifi. There is lots of beautiful wood detailing throughout the cabin. Full kitchen with cookware and dinnerware, three different sleeping areas (in addition to the couch), cozy couches and rocking chairs, beautiful lamps. The wood stove in the living room was plenty to heat the house while we were there. The bed in the main bedroom was comfy, there was a soaring cathedral ceiling and lots of light in the room, it had a beautiful view out over the Sound and there was lots of closet space (the clever use of cabinetry makes tremendous use of the A-frame walls upstairs). There is a huge deck with a picnic table. The wood-fired hot tub was incredible, the water was hot and ready for use when we arrived in the afternoon (thanks to Grant, who thinks of everything), though we didn't use it until the next morning and the temperature was still perfect. The firepit just inside the gate provided great ambiance next to the little pool - I wished I had brought marshmallows and skewers for roasting. There is a little mountain slope behind the property that our dog loved exploring. Just bring your toiletries, your hiking shoes, and your favorite vacation foods (though there is a small grocery store with basic selections near the ferry dock). This home away from home is an incredible value and we hope to return soon.

We found this cabin to be delightful in every way. We especially enjoyed the VERY comfortable bed, and the nook in the kitchen. The wood stove was easy to use and efficient. The owner was very helpful and we look forward to a return visit.

We had a lovely stay at this Lummi Island cabin. We appreciated the beautiful views of Mt. Baker and the fabulous sunrises. Our dogs loved the the walks through the woods and hanging our on the beaches on the west side with views of Orcas Island and the San Juans. We discovered public beach access at the church.
The cabin itself was cozy and rustic, just right for a weekend get away.

Perfect Romantic Getaway

September 22, 2012

My (new) wife and I visited Grant's hideaway as our honeymoon treat. Bear in mind, we had a simple wedding - a JP and witnesses, and wanted an uncomplicated getaway. We could easily have taken off to the 4 Seasons in Whistler or a Fairmont property via my employment, but wanted something more private and intimate. After viewing the photos on this site and speaking with Grant, I knew I had the right place and the right host. When he understood our occasion, he offered special extra touches, that were massively appreciated. When we arrived, Grant had the outdoor chiminea going, the hot tub, and the woodstove - very welcoming. He gave us a warm welcome, a quick orientation, and then made a friendly departure. So much kinder and more personal than anywhere else I have stayed. In the spirit of fully equipped cabins, all we had to bring were our food and beverages - everything else was there. The place has great sight-lines for privacy and views... a fantastic combination. We loved the warm wood heat, and the fun of stoking the fires, among many other charms. If you are expecting a 5-star hotel, remember that this is a privately owned and maintained property. There isn't a cleaning staff to whisk through between each guest - just the owner - so we made sure to leave the place cleaner than when we arrived, which we believe is implied in the contract of a well-maintained vacation rental at a reasonable price. It was such a good value that it only seemed fair. If you'll be offended by the odd cobweb or a bit of dust in a corner, save yourself the angst, then double (or triple) your budget. But if you'd like to enjoy a relaxing, trouble-free holiday in a clean, well-equipped yet rustic setting, you may just owe it to yourself to spend a few days here... We'll certainly be back!!!

We had a lovely time here. I am from Bellingham and went over to visit friends. Since I was bringing my dogs, I decided to stay here, and it was perfect! I just told my friends where I was and they came to visit me instead! Beautiful views from the house and deck. Hot tub was enjoyed in the evening, along with roasting marshmallows in the outdoor fireplace. Grant was very helpful and gracious. I would recommend very highly.

Surrounded by Cool Forests and Warm Fires

Surrounded by Cool Forests and Warm Fires

July 7, 2012

My wife recently stayed an entire week at Grant's cabin with our two little girls (5 & 3) and we had a wonderful time. If we did nothing else, just being surrounded by one of the greenest forests have even seen- was great. We spent a week in absolutely no hurry at all. This was the perfect place to do so in midsummer (when back home it was 100 degrees plus!) Stoking fires on the patio, in the hot tub, and in the house... cooking fun meals on the grill and in the kitchen, etc. However, we also explored quite a bit of the area in that week. The girls loved playing at the church beach, the estates shoreline, the shore north of the ferry dock, the hike up to the top of Lummi Peak, and just watching the wildlife throughout the island.
As it was our first time anywhere near the area, we also took day trips off-island along the cascades to check out the mountains a bit more closeup... and a trip down Chuckanut Drive to view the San Juans from that vantage point, as well as to have a meal of fresh shellfish at one of the restaurants near Taylor Shellfish Farms.
Perhaps the best way to understand the experience would be to check out the photos posted via Instagram on my phone from the week at Flickr (account "nashworld"). I have hundreds of other pics from a professional camera setup that will be there in the next few weeks, but this set of 140 iPhone shapshots might give you a more visual review.
Lastly, Grant was a fantastic host throughout. He met us at the cabin, gave us a tour of all of the details... and had fires on the patio and in the hot tub to greet us. Amazing atmosphere from the start. He even gave a quick courtesy phone call after a couple of days just to make sure everything was going well.
This is an amazing area, a friendly host, and a property that truly integrates itself into its surroundings. We still have a lot of this planet to see, but when we get back to this area, we'll certainly cross our fingers that Grant's place isn't booked. Enjoy...

Cozy cabin nestled in the woods-very dog friendly!

July 7, 2012

My boyfriend and I recently stayed here with our dog for our 3 year anniversary and it was amazing! We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful house, inside and out. Grant and his dog Emma greeted us when we arrived and showed us the property and surrounding area which was really nice because you could get a feel for the area and get a crash course on how to work all the fireplaces! Grant has masterfully restored the house himself and each room has something unique about it, it's just amazing inside, plenty of room for about 5-7 people, or a family, or a perfect quiet get-away for 2. We brought our own food to BBQ(there's 2!) and I loved prepping food on the huge stainless steal kitchen counter that looks out into the bay. Inside was great for rainy days, but the beauty of this place is the outside. There isn't a bad view from the property and the big deck is great for relaxing in the sun and looking out at the mountains and ocean. The wood fired soaking tub was perfect for relaxing in the day or watching the stars at night. There's lots of places to walk around and go hiking, the dog loved it! But the best part is being able to shut yourself off from the outside world even though your so close. Once you shut the gates to the lower patio you really can't be seen by anyone and it feels like your own private oasis with a spectacular view! The only bummer was having to leave so soon.
Grant was super nice and accommodating and we will definitely be returning here for a longer stay! I've already recommended this rental to lots of family and friends. It's not too far of a drive from Seattle, and only a short trip from Bellingham!

This was the perfect little hide away for our anniversary trip! We enjoyed the privacy that all the trees provided and the hot tub was so fun. It was perfect to stoke the fire in the cabin, curl up with a blanket and enjoy the peacefulness. The hike just down the road was awesome too! Thanks, Grant!

We loved our stay in this charming, rustic cottage. Rain or shine, this was the most relaxing, comfortable place we have ever stayed anywhere. The gardens and view are beautiful in this natural setting. The convenience of bathrooms on both floors was a real plus. We loved the big eat-in kitchen and roomy living room - all with beautiful views of the trees and water. There are so many charming details to this house that can't be seen in the pictures provided in the listing. Grant is a wonderful host and has covered every detail for his guests. We can't wait to come back and stay longer.

Grant was so accommodating in every way possible - had the place warmed up for us with his adorable wood burning stove, the hot tub was heated with fire - everything felt woodsy and relaxing. So quiet, you can't see your neighbors! We did a bonfire on the nearby beach, had amazing night in the hot tub under the stars, read by the wood stove and basked in the quiet and beautiful mornings. It was an amazing vacation and we are recommending to all our friends!

Loved the laid back ambience. Simple pleasures ie. wood fireplace & hot tub, claw foot bath, cozy down duvets. Setting was beautiful high on a wooded hillside with water & Bellingham views. Stayed 3 nights but could have stayed longer - so soothing. Kitchen could have used a little more polish but everything one needed to make home cooked meals was there. Grant was a "host with the most" - very accomodating. Charming atmosphere.

A lovely place with lots of character and warmth. Short, charming ferry ride to get to the island. Grant was at the chalet to greet us and let us know how things work; his enthusiasm for the place is fantastic. He had lit all the fires, including the outdoor fireplace for us. The woodstove kept the place cozy-warm and we also fed the hot tub fire to keep it sweltering. The log bed in the master bedroom is lovely; nice water views from upstairs and down. There are some cool touches like the tin ceiling in the living room/dining room and clawfoot tub in the upstairs bathroom. Perfect romantic getaway spot. One wish: glass cups and wineglasses as there were only plastic, and a thermometer in the hot tub. We used the sightseeing sheet Grant provided to check out some spots on the island. There are some neat beaches (yes, even in the winter), one with sandstone, another with funky fishing shacks and paraphernalia. Note that the local cafe/pub, the Beach Store Cafe, is open only a few days per week, so if you're there for a short stay and want to check it out, find out the hours. Townspeople are friendly. . Overall - loved it!

Owner's reply:

Glad you loved it !
Guests enjoy drinking wine while soaking in the hot tub , for guests safety
hotel/spa plastic wine glasses are furnished . I do not want outside naked guests to break
glass and hurt themselves . Its an hours drive to medical help off the island .

I'd like to share an email I recently wrote to Grant, the owner of Waterview Chalet in the Woods. Hello Grant, my name is Barbara Evans. Last year on Oct 15th, I rented your cabin with my (then) very new boyfriend. I admit that we fell deeply in love there, and had the most memorable weekend imaginable. We have now been together for almost a year, and are so in love that we will be married soon. We would first like to thank you, and let you know that a weekend of true romance and new love that started in your lovely home, has since developed into our dreams come true. We are so happy, and think and speak fondly of your home on Lummi often. The second thing we are wondering is if it is available to rent the first week in Oct this year, to share the anniversary of the day we met one year earlier. It would mean a lot to us to secure a reservation to spend our anniversary where we first fell in love. Please advise, and we will happily go about the reservation process. Thank you so very much, we appreciate everything, and can't wait to meet you again and thank you in person!

On the inside this house is cozy and quaint; and outside, the wooded mountainside setting is ideal for humans and dogs. If you like stoking fires you will be in heaven. You can have fires inside and out and even the hottob is fire-heated. The island is think with flora and fauna. We saw deer and racoon families within our first hours. Grant, the landlord will give you great tips for your optimal stay. Parents, kids and dogs will love the place.

This was a fun, eclectic cabin nestled nicely in the woods! We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen with great views of the water. The wood stove heated up the house really nicely. Our dogs thoroughly enjoyed running in the woods behind the house. We had a fun night on the patio with a bonfire and smores! The owner Grant is a very nice, friendly gentleman who has done a good job fixing up the cabin. The only downside is not much sun because of tree coverage. Overall a great place at a good price!

We stayed at this cozy, rustic cabin for 3 nights, and wished we could stay longer! We had our two little boys and our older dog. We felt safe on the fenced-in property. We made good use of the fire pit every evening. The view from the deck, kitchen, living room and bedrooms is beautiful! Grant walked us through a list of things to do and see on the island, including Frank's Beach--we went there every day. It's beautiful, quiet and the view of the San Juan Islands is lovely. We did some fly fishing, and even saw a seal swimming by. Checking out the tide pools at low tide was also a hit. We pretty much fell in love with Lummi Island. It is nice and small, very easy to get to from Seattle, the tiny car ferry is adorable, and the people are very nice. We'll probably be back.

My husband and I rented this home for a couples retreat, and had a wonderful time. It was *so quiet*, so peaceful and so beautiful. All we could hear were the birds! The home is delightfully put together, with Grant's thoughtfulness evident all over the home. This is just what we look for with a rental home: spotlessly clean, carefully arranged, extremely comfortable (great bed!) with heavenly view. Grant recommended a hike to the top of Lummi, that gave us a breathtaking view of the San Juans. Wow! The feeling on Lummi is so relaxed, friendly, and happy. We loved our retreat in the woods!

Our family (with 2 teenage boys) stayed at the "Waterview Chalet in the Woods" for a week in August 2010. There was plenty of room for the 4 of us, and we slept great because it is so quiet on the island! We spent the week whale watching, hiking, and kayaking, and just plain relaxing. I would recommend the chalet to anyone who doesn't want the bustle of a resort, but doesn't want to "rough it" either.

Thanks Grant for sharing your romantic dream house with me. The Chalet in the Woods was a dream come true. Very nice and clean, better than some motels I have stayed at before. I was so amazed of the time you spent putting this Chalet in the Woods together, that pair of driftwood rockers by the fire was very very nice. The snow topped fir trees were worth picture taking. Forgot to mention that HOT TUB, enjoyed it even when it was cold outside and the snow falling. Never had such a great time in my life. Very relaxing, peaceful, and a dream on a island come true. It seemed to me that I was the only one on the island. I will be back, SOON. Thanks once again for a nice getaway.

We were first attracted to this vacation listing as we have several (right now six Chihuahua's) and the Waterview Chalet in the Woods is listed as pet friendly.
Grant, the owner is extremely co-operative. We found everything as listed. This chalet is not modern. It is rustic, but in my opinion, that bring a great appeal. It was our first opportunity to holiday with our Chi's and that we could do in a very relaxed and wonderful environment. Scenery is magnificent.

We spent 3 relaxing weeks here and loved it. The view of the water and Mt. Baker from the deck accompanied by the sound of the fountain can't be beat. On warmer days, my 10 year old and I enjoyed swimming in the lake at the top of the hill. It gave her a great chance to meet and play with other kids. Lots of nooks, crannies, and warmth here. Although there is a lovely fenced area for dogs, our 8 lb. Doggie could find ways under the fence when he set his mind to it.
